Anyone up for some canning equipment, compliments of Ball® and Mother Nature Network? I’m partnering with Ball® in advance of International Can-It-Forward Day to give one fan on MNN a box full of canning and preserving tools.

I'm really excited to be able to help one winner get these supplies. I love the variety of products in this giveaway. They’re useful whether you’re canning a batch of jam with seasonal fruit or you just bought a huge amount of cilantro from the farmers market to make one batch of salsa, and you want to preserve the rest of the cilantro for a later date.

On Aug. 15, we will pick one Facebook fan (via randomized selection) to win this box of Ball® canning and preserving tools, so if you want to participate, please Like Us Now. If you are an existing Facebook fan of MNN, no need to do anything — you're already entered!
